that's actually a photoshop job... notice how blurry it is on the left side of the front end, how the shadow before the rear wheel stops abruptly?

i can make your car look horrible with Photoshop... doesn't mean the original thing was horrible.

 

[Joey D]

Come on you can't make my Stang look bad, it already looks bad

 

[-Fred-]

you'd be surprised

 

[Joey D]

Oh I bet I wouldn't. You;ve seen the car its a POS.

Did he not have enough paint to finish the car?

 

[Vasco]

The rims don't match.

 

[CDailey]

That's probably because he took the hubcaps off on the front wheels.

well yeah, he's on a drag strip... smaller tires on the drive wheels improve acceleration, because, technically, they are smaller in size than the "normal" tires fitted on by the owner, hence shortening the gear ratios in a way (the transmission has less mass to rotate, if you want) and making you go faster.

can't imagine what this guy would do with his matching rims on, if he can only manage an 18 second timeslip...

 

[TVRKing]

The Focus next to it is faster, and dosen't look as ugly either.

 

[Joey D]

Smaller tires in the front don't help a ton. I never bothered to do that when I went to the strip.

 

[-Fred-]

won't do much if you use the stock tires, yeah... but it'll work if you have drag radials, or slicks. which i now happen to have

 

[Joey D]

Ya but see I had street tires on.

What kind of drag radials you got?

 

[-Fred-]

the BFGoodrich G-Force T/As... the Nittos are pretty much crap, but they're cheaper.

 

[Joey D]

I never liked Nittos. I had a pair of the street tires on my Civic but I wore those out really fast and they didn't offer a whole lot of grip.

 

[Axe_Gaijin]

Small tires in the front won't help at all considering it's a Frontwheel drive

wrong, in a way. Smaller radius performance tires will give you more grip and acceleration. swapping the original tires on (like this guy did) isn't going to give you any worthy improvement, it'll make you look like a dork.

saw a pic of ff draqg car..... brb

 

[ving]

there it is, look at then front tires!!

 

[Joey D]

well ya that will work cause they are drag radials
